How do you know he isn't at the referee can you hear him?Doesn’t get in the referee’s ear enough for me. Remember when Dickov was in the team and he’d be relentless in chomping the ref’s ear. Could easily have got a couple sent off yesterday but no one questioned any of his decisions. Personally I don’t see Norburn as a leader.
From what l saw on Saturday he was onto the ref all the time!Doesn’t get in the referee’s ear enough for me. Remember when Dickov was in the team and he’d be relentless in chomping the ref’s ear.

AgreeFrom what l saw on Saturday he was onto the ref all the time!
I was thinking the same. I'd wish he'd stop complaining to the ref every time someone tackles him and get back.From what l saw on Saturday he was onto the ref all the time!
Same. Bigger issues with him than this, namely that I don't think he's been that good for us so far.From what l saw on Saturday he was onto the ref all the time!
I was just about to say this. I watch it on my TV and in the second half he seemed to be talking to the constantly. Everytime we got a foul, he was in the refs ear. This seems like just another thing to have a go about when he played well.From what l saw on Saturday he was onto the ref all the time!
Agreed. We commented that when he went off at the death. Was also much more positive pushing forward into spaces.Norburn had a very good game on Saturday
All bout opinions and seeing things differently, I feel like I saw him pull out of 3 50/50 challenges last night and challenges he really should have been winning….frustrates me alot at timesHis best game last night in a tangerine shirt imho. Bossed the midfield and drove the team on. Constantly talking and directing his teammates. Bravo Norbs
Agreed, too many short passes, dwells on the ball and not very quick. We need betterAll bout opinions and seeing things differently, I feel like I saw him pull out of 3 50/50 challenges last night and challenges he really should have been winning….frustrates me alot at times
He will of looked like he was not making those challenges but at the time he only has a split second to decide if he is late with any of those 50/50 he risks being sent off, so it will be a decision he would of made at the time and as it pans out the right oneAll bout opinions and seeing things differently, I feel like I saw him pull out of 3 50/50 challenges last night and challenges he really should have been winning….frustrates me alot at times
i think kenny made him look good, thought Virtue stepped up last night in the second half and controlled the midfield, numerous interceptions, high energy pressing and getting in the faces of the opposition, as well as setting off a few attacks.Had a good game last night shame KD left as they played very well together with Norbs as the enforcer and KD as the distributor
I personally don’t think you no anything about football.really bizarrei think kenny made him look good, thought Virtue stepped up last night in the second half and controlled the midfield, numerous interceptions, high energy pressing and getting in the faces of the opposition, as well as setting off a few attacks.
Norburn pulling out of challenges was more like (to me anyway) that he was going for the same ball as other pool players and telling them to leave it for him where he either cant get to the ball or pulls out. Made a couple of good interceptions early doors so was thinking we might get a decent performance out of him, but alas (in my opinion anyway) he was not up to scratch. I don't know what he provides to the team. Morgan and Virtue both provide better defensive shield, by being high energy and pressing, and both have better distribution and forward drive, Norburn demands the ball in crap positions and more often than not gives the ball to players who are not in good positions to receive, or does a Henderson back to the keeper. He keeps getting involved in free kicks and corners which I think unsettles other players and when he takes deep lying free kicks he just gives the ball away.
